And yet I read that RBI aren't a worthy measure of a hitter.

This team would mess up a leadoff HR tonite.

Maybe we should hope for this since it seems like we can't bring in a lead off runner in any other way.

It’s not a “pitcher’s duel”, Dick. It’s a duel of offensive ineptitude 

Wade is good at 1B

Especially considering that this is his third pro game at 1st.

Donaldson defense.

How did they give him a hit? That is clearly an error.

I remember when I was still active duty, I had temporary duty in Norway. and I got a tour of a Norwegian Naval Base. It was really awesome. I noticed all their ships had a barcode on the hull instead of the normal numbering I was used to seeing on US ships. 

 

I asked my guide, a Norwegian Senior NCO, what that was all about.

 

"Well," he said, "that's so when the ship returns to port, we Scandanavian."

The Donaldson "error" could cast Berrios another inning.

I heard somewhere he played it in college. But yeah, he can pick 'em over there.

I just wondered exactly the same thing.

Therefore I wrote "pro game".

That's just pathetic.

Awesome. Geez.

Bad bad bad

Time for Polanco to pick up Donaldson. 

That was an expensive double play.

Hip Hip Jorge

POLANCO!!!!

Slump buster

Two out RBI, yeah!

That took almost 100 pitches and 9 RISP situations to get to that 1st run... and we're still only in the 5th inning.
